West Virginia EIoquence.

The following is an extract from
Hon. d. b. Lucas speech in the
West Virginia Legislature, nomina-
ting Gov. f. w. Wilson for the U.
S. Senate:
"The march of Truth, th ough
slow, is sure and stately. Her pic
neers, as they ascend the heights,
may be stricken down, or fall by the
wayside. But 10 in her appointed
season, immortsl Truth herself COM
eth up over the mountain tops, her
head encircled by an aureole of glory,
and her feet Respondent with the ra-
dance of perpetual dawn. The mu
sic of the spheres accompanies her !;
the morning stars are her heralds,
and they cry aloud make way
there, for Truth for 10, she cometh !
Make way there, We enemies of
Truth ~ And thereupon the mists
arise, the clouds dispense, and the
bright effulgence of an Eternal Pur-
pose maketh the path more plain,
and another landmark is erected in
the march Of human progress.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, Feb. l5.-
Mr.. Chew introduced a bill in the

introduced q bill creating a commits

prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and drinks in the State is on
its third reading in the Senate, and
will probably pass tomorrow. The
bill will probably be vetoed, as il
cuts off nearly $4,000 revenue to

Senator were taken to-day. In the
last one, one of the Camden caucus
democrats bolted and voted to1

A Republican Victory.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.--Every-
thing was as quiet as on Sunday
about the City Hall and courts to-
day, the active politicians being en-
gagged at the polls. Early in the
day it was seen that Filter was run
ming far ahead of Keim and the elec-
ton and the general result were
known by the time the polls closed
except that there remained n posi-
bility OF Clay's defeat through
scratching, but before ten o'clock
tonight it became known that the
general republican majority was SO
large as to carry Clay through by u
good majority. Chestnut street was
soon alive with bands and marching
clubs, aud there was as much enthu-
siasm at republican headquarters as
at presidential election. The ma
iority was indeed unexpectedly
large. There was slight decrease
in the total vote as compared with
the last mayoralty election, but Fit
Ter gained OF least 10000 votes over
Smith in 1854, while Keim fell at
least Is 900 short of the democratic
vote at that time. The democratic
vote was short on all candidates, and
although Benton gained many re-
publican votes, he was left far be-
hind Clay.
Complete returns from 20 wards
and estimates of the remaining two
give Filter, (rep.,) for mayor nearly
$4,000 majorit; Clay, (rep.,) for re
ceiver of taxes, 1000; Warwick,
(rep.,) for city solicitor, probably
5000 majority.
The vote for Philips, the labor
candidate for mayor. does not ex-
coed 500, and that for Jalan, pro-
hibition candidate, is less than
10000.

Prohibition in West Virginia.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, February
17.-An unexpected turn was taken
by the Senate this morning when the
bill which had been passed by the
lower house ITO prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors and drinks with
in the state came up for its pass
age. The opponents of the bill dis
covered the fact that they could not
defeat it, and in order to do the next
best thing, called for the vote on the
Joint resolution, which provides for
the submission of the question to the
people of "prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors
in this state which had not been
announced. Upon the call of the vote
on submission, three members who
had voted against submission chang
ed their votes to aye, which gave the
resolution a two-third majority.
The submission will be voted on in
November, 1883, at the next general
election. The lower house passed
the resolution two weeks ago. The
bill prohibiting the sale of liquor and
drinks was then laid on the table.

Half Million People Petition for the
Blair Education Bill.

Petitions for the passage this ses-
sion of the Blair education bill con-
tinue to pour into Congress. They
come from all portions of all the
states and territories. 1t is estimat
ed that over $4,000 citizens, large
portion of whom are voters, have al
ready over their own signatures thus
petitioned. And still they come.
This number is swelled to more than
half million if to these are added,
as should be, the members of the
great national associations who col
lectively as societies or organizations
have united in this request. Among
these are the National Woman 3
Christian Temperance Union, the
two great National Teachers Asso-
Citations, the Knights Of Labor, many
churches and-missionary societies.
If these petitions of more than half
Il million citizens are ignored, politi.
cal disaster will oyertake the par
ties in this Congress who are re-
sponsible, the indifferent as well as
the active opponents This is a
government Of majorities; by the
suffrages of the people or their re-
representatives., men are put in places
of power on committees and as pre-
siding officers, thereby to better IA
cilitate transmitting the will of the
majority into law. 10 take advan.
tege of such position to obstruct
or to willfully hold back matter
from the consideration Of the whole
House when more than q majority
have several times voted to consider
it is usurpation of power that saw
ors more Of a monarchy than re-
public, and the man who attempts
it is very short-sighted. Power is
constantly returning to the hands of
the people who elect the man to
stay at home, who has put his own
individual will against that of the
majority.

on Monday passed on its third read
ing the resolutions prohibiting the
mandatory and sale of intoxicating
liquor in the State. The vote was
81 to 4. The resolution has already
passed the Senate. 1t only remains
for the General Assembly to fix the
time and prescribe the manner of
the election to be held by the people
for the ratification or rejection OF the
amendment. On the question of
submission the Legislature has no
option. Submission to command by
the constitution after the General
Assembly adopts the amendment on
its merits. As two-thirds of the
members of that body have decided
and declared that the constitution
should be so amended, the question
now goes before the people for a

The Mystery ola shoe Box.

WALL1NGfoRD, Conn.,, Feb. 49,
Last August q headless and limb.
less body packed in an old shoe-box
was found in swamp near the town
Of Yatesville. The authorities about
here were unable to find any clue to
the identification of the remains,a and
after long and searching investiga-
ton the mystery remained unsolved.
One thing, however, the Coroner was
sure Of, and that was that murder
had been committed. Soon after the
discovery of the body satchel was
discovered in an old we'll. and from
it's blood stained condition it was
thought to have been used to hide
some parts of a body, but even this
did not throw any light upon the
mystery of the shoe box.
Recently however, facts have been
brought to light that 60 to show that
the body was that of the man who
threw the bomb which caused the
Haymarket massacre in Chicago. A
state official carefully examined the
satchel and found it was made in
Chicago, and in pocket he also
found papers relating to bomb-throw-
ing transactions. The shoe-box had
also the word Chicago written upon
it in blue letters, according to the
detectives who worked up the case.
This late discovery develops a
theory that the remains in the shoe
box and those that had been in the
satchel were those Of the same per-
son, that they came from Chicago
and that the body was that of the
Anarchist who really threw the Hay
market bomb and who had been
murdered by his brother conspira-
tors to prevent him from turning
states evidence. Detectives are busy,
both here and in Chicago, trying to
establish the truth Of the theory, and
sensational developments are anx-
iously expected.

Mrs. Barrett was in front and pass
ed the splinter unframed. Mrs. Har-
ris, who was in the centre, came in
contact with it, sustaining a long

came out from his back above the
hip, penetrating the abdomen and
rupturing the intestines. 1t threw
him from the toboggan and he was
taken up impaled, the board project
ing several inches at each end, but
